The Knight's Lament

[Verse] In a time of old A knight so bold With armor rusted and heart grown cold He rode through the land Seeking solace and peace In his weary soul Searching for release [Verse 2] One fateful day He found a young lad Lost and alone Looking awfully sad The knight took him in Raised him like his own Anointed him king On a rickety throne [Chorus] Oh The knight's lament A tale of love and regret He looks upon his king With a heavy heart that forever sings [Verse 3] He wished for more To give the boy More than a throne, forgotten His heart had grown But time can be rotten The old knight His age his plight [Chorus] Oh The knight's lament A tale of love and regret He looks upon his king With a heavy heart that forever sings [Verse 2] In a time old way The King found a queen The old knight on bedrest Finally finished his last quest The knight saw joy On the face of that boy He closed his eyes Tear filled goodbyes [Chorus] Oh The knight's lament A tale of love and regret He looks upon his king With a heavy heart that forever sings [Outro]
